Rodman was charged with speeding and reckless driving after he was stopped in a Lamborghini on a highway near the mountain town of Frisco on 26 July.

Summit County Judge RUSSELL GRANGER issued an arrest warrant after Rodman failed to appear at a 14 September (05) hearing.

Rodman had been in town to race in the Bullrun USA 2005 charity auto rally. During the rally, Rodman also was involved in a minor accident and was accused of leaving a truck stop without paying $40 (GBP22) for gasoline and a cap.

A fan paid the former Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons star's bill, and authorities did not pursue charges.
